This was my mother's idea of haute cuisine in the early 1950's. I still whip it up (disgusting as it is) and will inhale all of it in about two days.

1 packet of Lipton's French Onion soup mix.
1 regular-size tub of real sour cream (no diet, non dairy, or low fat shit)

Mix the dry soup mix in the original sour cream tub and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.

Sit on couch watching Oprah and use as much soup/sour cream dip as you want as you to scarf down a bag of rippled potato chips.

Absolutely disgusting, but somehow satisfying (all that fat and salt? Mmmmmm . . . good!)

Tomato and battered caulifower soup

This is something I first had in Mexico when I was a kid.

Cut up and steam one head of cauliflower and set aside.

Cut up one white onion and several cloves of garlic. Add to soup pot with olive oil and lightly brown. Add two cups of water, some salt, some chili powder and one 12 oz. can of tomato paste. Boil and stir until hot and well mixed up. Season to taste.

Separate four eggs and beat up the whites unitl firm. Fold in yolks. Run water over the cauliflower and drain. Place cauliflower in a plastic bag with flour and shake (This is for stickiness). Dredge caulifower in egg batter and fry until golden brown. Add to soup.

Yummy!

Hit us up with the Stroganoff recipe nudey!

Here you go!
1 1/2 pounds beef tenderloin or sirloin tip well trimmed. Salt and pepper to taste.
In a small saucepan melt 1.5 tablespoons butter whisk in 1 tablespoon flour until smooth. Add one cup beef stock and whisk on med heat for 3 minutes. Set aside
In a large skillet over med/high heat 3 tablespoons butter thinly sliced meat a finely chopped onion. Cook 1-2 minutes (the meat should still be pink in the middle)
Remove the meat from the pan and discard the onion. Put the meat back in the skillet with the juices and add 1 cup very finely chopped mushrooms. Add your stock mixture and 3/4 cup sour cream 1 teaspoon dijon mustard and salt and pepper to taste. Cover cook on med/low for about 10 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the meat cooked.
Serve over egg noodles or rice. I usually serve a side dish of Japanese pickles and cold beets.

Ingredients:

2 pounds either blue, red, yukon gold or standard baking potato
2 pounds onion a mix of yellow and vidalia.
1 pound bacon
half pound of gouda, or swiss or jarlsberg cheese
quarter pound asiago cheese
quarter pound fontina cheese
1/3 cup fresh chopped basil
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper~~optional
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon mustard {prepared mustard, not the mustard seed}
2-3 cups whole milk {have more on hand if needed, depends on the dryness of the potatoes}
1 pound unsalted butter, sliced.


Cut potatoes in half and boil until fork enters and exits with ease.
cook bacon until it starts to crisp, exit it to brown paper for draining.
Slice half the onions and slice again in half, dice the other half. Place sliced onions only in hot bacon fat and cook one minute, then remove and place on sheet of brown paper.
Cube cut all cheese.

In a very large bowl place cooked potatoes and 2 cups of milk and sliced butter, mash and mix mash and mix until smoothness begins. Fold in the cooked onions and mix. Break bacon over the potato mix and mix together. Add the diced onions and mix. Add more milk if the mix seems to dry, add slowly to keep from becoming soupy. Add cheese and mix together. Add pepper, basil, paprika and mustard and mix. Add milk if necessary. Make sure the mixture is neither too dry nor to soupy. It should maintain the consistancy slightly less mobile than a cake batter.

Place mixture into 2 separate baking dishes and place in 375 degree oven, cook for 35-45 minutes depending on how crisp you want the top.

It can also be placed in separate personal baking cups placed on baking sheets and cooked for 20-25 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes~~potaoes get very hot and retain their heat.




An alternate recipe is potato flakes from a box cooked with milk and butter, add cheese, onions, mustard, basil and pepper and jar of bacon bits from McCormick and toss in the microwave for 15 minutes. Not as tasty but much faster.

my family is originally from maryland. so the only interesting thing i can do is baltimore style crabcakes. and the ingredient portions can't really be written down. a pinch of this and dash of that type of thing.

- use "special" crabmeat. this is mostly white with some others mixed in. lump is great but more expensive. you buy it by the pound in a plastic tub.

- throw it in a bowl and find any shells you can and throw them out. it is mostly free of this, but some strays make it into the mix sometimes.

- now get some mustard (just a little) mayo, bread crumbs and old bay seasoning and mix it up with an egg. if you form patties and let them sit overnight in the fridge under wax paper, they get nice and firm.

- uncool with you fitness types, but you have to fry these babies. wesson in a pan is just fine.

I guess I had weird ideas of comfort foods when I was young. Mum is from the UK and I grew up in Austin, TX. She tried her best to cook Tex-Mex, but there was always that British twist. Wish I could explain it, but it's just there. Shirley was our housekeeper who sometimes cooked for us. She could really whip out the tamales! I miss Shirley's Tamales. Sorry, don't have a recipe, but that was comfort food. I did manage to wrangle this recipe from somebody when I was newly single again and needed a reminder of home.

TACO SOUP

1 lb ground beef
1 can stewed tomatoes (petite diced works nice)
1 can Ro-Tel (spicy tomatoes)
1 can cut green beans
1 can Ranch Style Beans (gotta be Ranch brand)
1 can whole kernel corn
1 can Pinto Beans
1 pkg Ranch dressing mix (not the dip)
1 pkg taco seasoning
2 12 oz beers (one to drink, one to cook with)

Brown the meat in a large pot. Drain. Pour in the entire tin of tomatoes, Ro-Tel and Ranch beans (don't drain). Drain and add the remaining cans, the dressing mix, seasoning and the beer. Cook for 30 minutes or more.

Delish! If you have blue tortilla chips more better. This is as close as I can come to Shirley's tortilla soup. I know she took more than a half-hour to cook hers.

Perfect comfort food, I agree:wink:

Two quick makes

Grilled cheese sandwich with sliced onions and bacon Use cheddar, American or Swiss cheese depending which you're in the mood for. For less fat {as opposed to frying}, toast the bread, put thin spread of butter or margarine, layer on cheese, use imitation bacon bits or turkey bacon and then the onions and anothere slicing of cheese and microwave 60 seconds on the defrost then another 30 seconds to a minute on high. Watch through the window, if the cheese is oozing off the edges, it is done.

and the other is a toasted English muffin with crunchy peanut butter, place a piece of semi-sweet chocolate to cover 2/3 of the peanut butter, put on paper towel on a dish and microwave at level 3 for 45 seconds. Remve from microwave put on a plate. Cover with top of english muffin and serve with cold milk.
